Wow the Scoot McNairy character is useless

Remember - he was the one who got out of the car and saved Ant from drowning in the lake in front of the house. He, his wife, and daughter would have easily escaped. But it was his heroism (that Paddy knew was within him) that forced him to return to the scene. The most harrowing scene in the whole film was the shot of those supposed parents standing beside the lake not doing a G-d damned thing, basically saying, 'If you don't save him, Ben, he's dead.' I think it would have made a lot more sense for the photo album to be revealed after that scene because it was a foregone conclusion that they weren't;t going to lift a finger once you already knew they were murderers and kidnappers. So, no, I don't think Ben was completely useless or weak.
